Homemade Vanilla Custard How-To (without an ice cream maker)

YAS FAM I just made homemade custard for the first time and it's glorious, I must say. This is extra good because with all my food allergies, there are only a handful of brands (of ice cream, gelato, or custard) I can safely eat from the store, and even then, only certain flavors of those brands. So at least I know that I can always make my own now!

And no, I don't have an ice cream maker - I tried it with my food processor, but really, after having done it, that isn't necessary, and I think next time I'll just do it straight in the Tupperware container I intend to store it in, because all you really need is a good initial blending of ingredients and then a spoon to mix in what's freezing with what's still liquidy.

mmmmmmm

This is not a fix-it-and-forget-it thing, though - you have to be able to check on it periodically for several hours. So do it when you're puttering around at home for the day. :)

I had bought a half gallon of whipping cream on sale because it was due to hit the best buy date the day after I bought it, so I was looking for ways to use it up and learned how to create this magnificent deliciousness! :D I made whipped cream in my canister, I made quiche, I made custard, and I made sour cream. And I STILL had a bit leftover to freeze, so I can use it in something else later as well.

C'mere, you big beautiful container of goodness

Ingredients:

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup (whole? I used whole) milk
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
2 eggs

Whisk them together, or use a food processor, blender, KitchenAid, hand mixer, whatever. Put in the freezer.

Check on it every 30-45 minutes and stir in the freezing parts (along the sides) with the liquidy parts (in the middle). Do this for several hours.

When it's almost done, you can stir in some chocolate chips or whatever mixins you like.

At 10 or 11 at night, get tired of waiting and eat what's stuck to the lid of your Tupperware because it's the right consistency. Er, I mean, to conduct a quality control test. Leave the rest to freeze overnight.

Et voila! Yummy yummy in your tummy in the morning. :D

It's so good, y'all. 10/10, do recommend.

This was me trying to do it with the food processor for the first few hours, but I ended up needing a spatula to scrape the sides anyway and eventually just put it in the Tupperware container

Thanks for reading! Steem on! :)
